Great blog.
I just wanted to share so...Hi Martin.<br /><br />Great blog.<br /><br />I just wanted to share some quotes from the lecture. <br /><br />Roth:<br /><br />"Meaning is embedded in every object, every social transaction."<br /><br />"High culture once had use value."<br /><br />Nahas:<br /><br />"The network of relations between paintings can become the essence of a painting"<br /><br />I also want to add my point of view concerning Susan Glasser's comment about not "getting it".<br /><br /> At one point she said that she didn't understand why the work included in the show was not simply "appropriation". Based on Dinah's comments about "primary experience" and her later emphasis on the formal characteristics of the work, well...it got me to think about the work from a more modernist perspective. For me, the word "appropriation" usually implies commentary or opinion. I found the work in this show to be very passive...not really saying anything about anything, its sole purpose to exhibit the human response to constant visual input. Guns, decorative explosions, barcodes? Maybe the show would make more sense if exhibited in an Anthropology Museum?...or a human behavioral study?<br /><br />Although, I do agree with Susan that the statements made by the curators and the artists could have been coordinated better.<br /><br />-VAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-1108866777456812572005-02-19T21:32:00.000-05:002005-02-19T21:32:00.000-05:00Thank you Too Common.

Although you seem to have failed to relate this experience to art. Blogs may be on the outer edge of the "artworld," but I must say this one is still part of what you call the artworld. I'm not too sure if any artist today actually like the term artworld anyway, so you can stay in "your" artworld if you want, but I enjoy all the company I can get in any "so-called" artworld. <br />Thanks again,<br />- too commomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-1108773827087892442005-02-18T19:43:00.000-05:002005-02-18T19:43:00.000-05:00Dear Damian,

I don't really think you know anything about the artworld, you seem to just want to participate in it tangentially and allow your ridiculous commenters to judge it from afar. If you want your opinions to count then JOIN IN THE ARTWORLD. Otherwise you are too minor to bear.<br /><br />Good Luck,<br /><br />CDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
